Fluid Mechanics Practice Test: Fluid Dynamics — Flashcards

Fluid Dynamics topics include: Euler and bernoulli equations of motion, bernoulli applications, newtons first and second law, navier strokes equation, impulse and moment of momentum equation.

Fluid dynamics is a branch of physics, physical chemistry, and engineering that studies the flow of liquids and gases. It has several subdisciplines, including aerodynamics and hydrodynamics.

Factors that influence the flow pattern of liquids and gases include:
The fluid's characteristics, such as density, compressibility, and viscosity
The speed of the flow
The shape of the solid surface 

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid dynamics that uses algorithms and numerical analysis to solve fluid flow problems. CFD is considered an essential tool for analysis and design in many industrial applications. 
Turbulence is a phenomenon in fluid dynamics that is characterized by chaotic changes in pressure and velocity. 
In fluid dynamics, incompressible flow is a flow in which the density remains constant in any fluid parcel.
